Okay, for various reasons... we've always preferred the LX's over the Ex's. Our Accord is a LX as is our Ody, and actually like the contrasting Black trim. The trouble is, that black trim gets funky looking if wax/polish touches it. I've lived with it on the Accord, but same thing happens on the Ody... so I've declared war on the problem and am looking for some help on the weapon of choice to battle the problem. No matter what wax/polish, the residue won't let go of the black trim (especially the black trim along the _bottom_ of the doors and the black bit on top of the rear bumper on the Ody). It leaves a white residue. I tried rubbing alcohol and even my wife's "Nail Polish Remover" on it, which turns it black again immediately but as it evaporates... the residue shows right back up.
It's virtually impossible (short or masking) to wax/polish without getting some on the black trim, and the wax residue won't let go of the trim!! So, I figure I ain't the Lone Ranger and other people wax their LX's and have the same problem.... and some must have a solution on how to rid the porous black bits of the white wax/polish residue.
Since the trim is so happy to hang on to the light wax, was thinking giving it some black shoe wax/polish to hang onto! ...but certainly there must be a good and simple product out there that will work specifically for this problem... what are others using for this???
Thanks!
